To help you progress in your table tennis game, I'm going to show you a few different types of serves.

This includes a very basic backspin serve which means that you will be cutting underneath the ball to get the ball to come back.

And when the person returns it they have to push it. or if it's long they can topspin the ball.

You want to keep the ball short, which means it will bounce twice on the other side.

You want to create as much backspin as possible so that it's difficult for them to flick the ball.

This is how it goes. (demonstration)

You see it's very important to try and keep the serve short, but not too short.

Because if it's too short the players have the angle to hit it wide, or touch it short again.

But if it bounces twice and hits the white line, then the opponent struggles to know whether it's long or short.

Therefore if it's short and it's bounced twice but they think it's long they will hit the bat against the table.

And if they have worked out that it's going to hit the white line then they will come in and touch it but the touch will be here.

Therefore making it very difficult for them to keep it short. Go in long, then you can attack them!
